The UCLA Graduate Division has changed their application format only allowing applicants to submit a 500-word limit Statement of Purpose (SOP). Applicants applying to the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department may still submit a two-page SOP by uploading the document as part of the ‘Supporting Documents’ section. We ask that in the SOP section you type the following message “SOP uploaded in the supporting documents section” so that we are aware that you are attaching a two-page SOP.
The Statement of Purpose (SOP) should be precise and brief. The statement should be no more than 2 pages and should contain only those personal details that would aid the admissions review process.
The SOP is also used to match admitted students with assigned advisors. All applicants are encouraged to be as specific as possible in their SOP. General descriptions such as “Electrical Engineering” are not specific enough. Indicating what branch of Electrical Engineering (such as communications, signal processing, controls, etc.) interests you is much more helpful in the review and advisor matching process.
Please note: No updates of the SOP are accepted. All applicants are encouraged to double-check all aspects of their application before submitting. The document included in the application is the ONLY one accepted by the department.
The writing sample is part of the University application. It is not required by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. However, if a writing sample is submitted as part of the application, it will be available for the review committee’s consideration and may be used as part of the evaluation. No updates of the writing sample will be accepted. All applicants are encouraged to double-check all aspects of their application before submitting.
